>>381842918
why are these guys so useless?

>>381844264
They are super early units, past the mid game they are useless.

So has anyone played the SC remaster? From what little I saw it looks pretty good and its given me hope the planned D2 remaster will be good, but I want personal thoughts and opinions.

the koprulu sector was engaged in tons of internal wars before the zerg and protoss came along. there were tons of factions fighting with each other and brainwashing prisoners to act as soldiers had been a thing for a long time. don't forget also that all the terrans that came to the koprulu sector before the ued were all prisoners to begin with. everyone in koprulu until the ued arrived was a descendant of one of those people, so making use of prisoners was basically like a tradition at that point, lol.

As I said, and as is explained in Starcraft 2, they hold themselves back due to their zealous teachings regarding the xel'naga.

Everything they've done was static up until the events of Starcraft 2, where they realized they "were" being held back.

>>381844946
>how the fuck can the others even kill them?
Look at the state of the western world today.
Way more advanced than the middle east, africa, and most of asia, but still getting fucked up from inside out.
That's kinda the same situation for the protoss.

Terrans and Zerg have their own problems and insecurities, but they don't really compare to what the Protoss are going through.

They ran into the same problem game developers run into.
They can keep 'improving' their shield technology, but then the results of their improvements only provide diminishing returns with each new improvement.
If they really wanted to, or had the capabilities, then they would have given themselves infinite shielding.

It's cheaper and better to send all your criminals to die in an alien meatgrinder

I'm at Zerg campaign's mission 9. Decided to restart the level because they trashed my base and I had no way to defend it. Those faggot Protoss are way too annoying to fight. They just have too much life; at this point my strategy became
>Get mutalisks as soon as possible
>Do hit and run attacks until you take down as many defences as possible, then send a billion Zerglings and Hidralisks so even when they all die at least the enemy base gets trashed
I nickname the Mutalisk squad "Dragon Force".

They don't give a shit whether they live or die, 90% of them are convicts that are either implanted with a restraining chip or just plain brainwashed into being emotionless tools of the military. I think I read on the wiki once that the introduction of UED medical technology during the Brood War raised the average Marine's combat life expectancy to like 13 seconds.

Is there even a set date for the release of Remastered?

The marines look a little better, but they replaced the black visors with SC2-style gold ones for no reason, and the rifles now have cartoonishly huge proportions. In the original game there were cutscenes where normal dudes could wield them effectively.

Is there any terran units that can give PTSD to Zerg like a SV does?

>>381856925
>>381857956
The science vessels in the cinematics are science stations not the actual unit.

Basically in the sc universe it's pretty much accepted that there are space faring versions of most 'ship' units in the game which are 10x more massive than their ground counterparts, including battlecruisers and science vessels. That's why the hero battlecruisers have so much health as they're not just buffed up they're several times larger and warp equipped.

And that's why in sc2 in which there are like 50 fully warp capable battlecruisers in the terran fleet, whereas in that one screenshot you can see a similar quantity and destroy a similar quantity in various missions.

I don't recall any mission like that in Starcraft 1. Nearly every victory condition was predicated on building destruction. And the missions where you had to kill units like the UED scientists was restricted to a relatively small portion of the map.

I refuse to believe Blizzard designed candyass missions like that for SC2. I protest playing that fucking game for many reasons but it's hard to imagine the missions being anything but better than SC1.

>>381872109
Doesn't help that it didn't even feel like a RTS anymore. Why the literal ass did they make enemy bases useless and just spawn attack waves every five minutes and whenever your army was outside your base?

will you niggas play ranked bw? I think I'll get exploded even with the influx of noobs and I had ladder anxiety in sc2

When the fug are we getting an actual date for ASL S3?

>>381848719
Ironically he's one of the better VAs. I would've expected them to fuck it up with a newer unit like him (like most other units) but he manages that happy middleground of campy yet played straight.

In too many ways SC2 was a vanity project. They let a balding Metzen voice the marine who's supposed to be a kidnapped late teen/early 20 criminal who's been freshly brainwashed. But Kerrigan? Why would we want the original VA for such an important role? No, have to hand off such a role to the Battlestar Galactica b-lister.

>>381872292
They were also considering changing Raynor's VA with someone with more, and this quote is straight from Metzen, "street cred", but ended up going with the original guy since he did such a good job.
